still tends to poetry keep. ignoring. the post. office. to your facebook news feed. what's happening folks i'm out here martin and this is breaking in the set so it seems people are too happy to find out about facebook's controversial psychological experiment where the social media giant intentionally manipulated users and news feeds to exploit their emotions that anger is mainly fueled by the fact that not one of the seven hundred thousand facebook users who were subject to human experimentation actually gave their consent but if that's not bad enough it turns out that the experiment was partly funded by the department of defense that's right the new research of altering news feeds and see how masses of react was actually connected to a military project called the nerve initiative this deal division is said to be

studying nonviolent activist groups to better understand and prepare for a massive societal breakdown well i just spoke to guardian journalist malfeasant mad about why this program should trouble us all. when they actually categorized these activities that they were studying they specifically categorized peaceful activists as supporters of political violence so even if you are not engaged in what might be described as to the if you are a member of a group that is somehow questioning the status quo or calling into question government policy you'll get being active on the environment according to question corporate policies then you could be seen as a supporter of political violence so now that we know that this facebook has was actually a part of minerva it's obvious that the government is extremely invested in learning how it can influence opinion online those tactics nothing new considering what we recently learned about what they u.s.

idea was doing in cuba. a twitter clone web site sponsored by the state department what the aim of undermining the castro government so if you think that the private sector is only collecting your private data for marketing purposes it's becoming quite evident with this collaboration that they are militarizing in social science as well and we. were the guinea pigs and let's break the cycle. it was a. very large atlantic. that or how exactly would that hurt their little. league. was. such.

a. beast it's what's for dinner but there's a reason why the slogan is created here in the united states us consistently ranks in the top five in the entire world in per capita big consumption and last year americans consumed more than twenty five billion pounds of the meat but a deadly disease can track and from beef that is usually associated with the united kingdom is reemerging right here in the u.s. i'm talking about bovine spongiform and go philosophy more commonly known as mad cow disease see when humans and just cattle with mad cow they can contract a variant creutzfeldt-jakob disease or c.j.d. a disorder that attacks the nervous system and eventually leads to death over two hundred twenty people worldwide have died as a result of c.j.d.

in the last month officials confirm the disease is for the u.s. death and texas at the same time over four thousand pounds of b. it was recalled by a whole foods market supplier over fears that the meat was tainted by mad cow so to discuss why we're not hearing more about these events that are doing enough to protect the u.s. beef supply i'm joined now by dr michael hansen senior scientist at consumer union thank you so much for coming on michel. you're welcome to be here so dr hansen for those that don't know can you start by giving a brief overview of the symptoms of c.j.d. what it does the human body and where does the disease originate. variant c.j.d. variant c.j.d. or v c.j.d. is what supposedly. caused by eating meat from cows that have been infected with mad cow disease but it is a disease of the central nervous system and particularly the brain that's where you see the symptoms. spongiform basically means sponge like so

it's a disease that causes functionally holes in the brain and. people have different a they sort of become they can't move or they make jerky movements there's a range of symptoms but it's an invariably fatal disease and how does it originate in cattle today and how widespread is it both domestically and globally well they don't really know there was this outbreak of you know b.s.e. that happened in the european union in the united kingdom spread to europe it spread to the united states and what they've learned is you have to stop certain animal re feeding practices and we haven't done that and even though they try to say that there's forms of mad cow disease for example our fourth case of mad cow disease was in california dairy cows that was discovered in two thousand and twelve

and it was a quote atypical strain and they just said well it happens it's a spontaneous mutation and that's not really true i think there's more and vironment link in terms of. x. previous exposure to. what you were you just mentioned before about the feeding practices what is it about industrial factory farming that might facilitate this to . well until they outlawed it you could literally grind up cows and feed them back to themselves gustin so they've they've outlawed that practice but there are some loopholes for example you can take blood from cows and feed it back to cows in fact they use plasma. as calf milk replacer also it turns out you can grind cows or most parts of them put that in chicken feed and then you can turn around and take chicken litter and feed it to cattle in the mid two thousand for example we were feeding about two billion pounds of chicken litter

and that could be as the head of our then food and drug administration said that chickens waste so much feed dead chicken litter can be up to one third of its weight can be you know spilled seed so deeply that there is. yes that is a fact. when the student drug administration. lupul try to tighten up the feeding practices and still. allow these loopholes this repeating of the feeding of blood products not only did we have jack but many of the scientists objected they wrote letters so did mcdonald's nobel prize winning stanley prusiner who's a scientist and yet we still continue to. allow these practices to happen and we are not looking very carefully for the disease either well let's talk about the latest from c.j.d. in texas what do you know about the circumstances surrounding not in the recall

four thousand pounds of beef. those are two different things the death that's the fourth case in the us of a variant c.j.d. which is definitely linked to. see all they've said is that this is a man and he did a lot of traveling but there's been no details on where he traveled and how because the other three cases that have been found in the u.s. were people that were born or lived in the united kingdom or the middle east for long periods of time this person in texas this is the second case now in in texas and they won't reveal any details beyond his age so they haven't told us where he's traveled. to suggest that there was a risk there or there is just none of that and the recall of the four thousand pounds of meat is certain specified risk materials basically.

certain lands are considered to be they call s.r.m. specified risk materials and they're not allowed in the human food supply and this four thousand pound recall was because some of those. specified risk materials. did make it into the human food supply so if an animal had been infected that would be considered very infectious material the suspects to go into the food supply so that's why they tried to do the recall but it's unclear whether they actually any of that meat was ultimately recalled dr hansen and what protections need to be put in place at these farms that aren't currently there to mitigate the risk of this fatal disease well i think what has to happen is the food and drug administration needs to take strong action they need to completely ban the feeding most memory only in proteins back to food animals so they have to cut that practice they also

which they they take information right now and they monitor feed and violations of these feed rules those should be reported publicly they used to be reported publicly but now you can't get that information that's how for example we were finding in two thousand and seven in two thousand and eight there were you know thousands and thousands of tons by a live feed that was getting into the food supply so the f.d.a. needs to tighten up the feed chain they also need to monitor the more carefully and what the u.s.d.a. should allow is they need to look america more carefully for the disease and there's actually a cast that certain companies wanted to use to test their meat and the u.s. government the u.s.d.a. won't allow those tests to be used and we think they should be allowed to be honest we have about thirty seconds left but why do you think the media and also the beef industry isn't taking that much of a hit considering that when mad cow is first scabbard it was a huge international story you know the industry took a major hit why did it there's so little attention paid to these recent deaths well

because there's now this is not you know we had the fourth case two years ago and there wasn't much coverage of that it was the media saying oh these things happen randomly it's because people don't want to pay attention and they have this new notion that oh this just happens that brain. it doesn't and these cases are going to keep on happening until stronger actions are taken thank you so much dr michael hansen senior scientist at consumer. thank you for coming up to talk about the disturbing new developments on the ground and palestine stick around. for you like you want your comedy news with some t. comedy news to be a bare fisted no holds barred fight to the dad. like a vampire fighting into the necks of the corporate elite billionaire freaks while they're going. well that's what you get with my new show redacted

tonight. washington well it's a misleading. reason that the media candidates for the prophesied are going to issue that actually back to me doesn't do too much for ad revenue in biotech agriculture giant teeth on a seventy six year old american farmer in the studio fallout do you think this is going to create for the cia do you think this is what's triggering a return facilities to that it's also the largest debtor nation to breaking the set is mostly about turning the status quo one might give you a lot of support in that looking toward the american dream the next they were just trying to survive this time for americans and lawmakers want to wake up and start talking about the real causes.

on marriage and the financial world. talked to comments coming out stop in a city only take note of it it's really not going to get any economic and like there are obvious. tensions in israel or on the discovery of the bodies of three israeli teens who have been missing for weeks according to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the palestinian group hamas is responsible and as such has ordered air strikes across the gaza strip and to make matters worse just today the body of a palestinian teen was discovering what his family claims to be a revenge killing by three men who forced him into a car and drove away so they discuss these recent events as well as the side of the story you won't hear from the corporate press i'm joined now by journalist and

author of goliath. fear and loathing in greater israel maxwell and all amazing to have you on max. great to be on with you so max start briefly giving us the most recent updates of what are you hearing happening on the ground during the last twenty four hours. there are clashes and where the seventeen year old palestinian boy who was found murdered apparently in an x. jewish extremist revenge attack was from it's a refugee camp in occupied east jerusalem and. there are these clashes have been going on for a day this is following israel rampaging through the west bank abducting over five hundred palestinians placing almost two hundred under administrative detention without charges raiding universities killing six people while bombing the gaza strip and exacting casualties there and it's my view that the israeli government knew from the beginning that the three kidnapped

and murdered israeli teens were dead. the national weather service in mount holly new jersey has issued a flash flood warning for southern a hundred in county in northwest new jersey central bucks county and southeast pennsylvania until ten fifteen pm at six ten pm national weather service doppler radar indicated due to two and a half inches has fallen across the board area with another inch or two possible which could cause some flash flooding locations in the warning include but are not limited to flemington when in frenchtown do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway a lot of depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely moved to higher

ground in hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain do not attempt to travel across flooded roads find alternate routes it takes only a few inches of swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away. famous jewish poet referring to a jewish massacre in europe and calling for blood vengeance so he's explicitly linking this to the holocaust he referred to the killers and hamas as human animals and his incitement has led directly to the murder of this seventeen year old palestinian boy apparently abducted by settlers now the israeli government. and its intelligence services and the palestinian authority had a recording of a phone call by one of the israeli teens who were apparently abducted that. they could hear a gunshot in the phone call they had known that these teens were dead since

sometime around july fourteenth not only that but it was reported in palestinian media that the israeli of israeli forces had raided the homes of the cole was may and families in hebron ten kilometers from the site of the alleged kidnapping and accused these to their sons of conducting the kidnapping those are the two suspects who have been announced but they were announced two weeks later so it's not clear to me that the israeli government has manipulated this situation to avoid a police action to a justify a military action directed at hamas and the palestinian unity government which is led to the crisis we're seeing today max and then you have the housing minister calling for more settlements as a metallic torrie measure i mean a ton of inflammatory rhetoric there's a lot a lot of tensions high and right now let's take a look at the media coverage in the aftermath the front page of the new york times today showed a palestinian throwing a rock in relation to the story about the palestinian being murdered max what does

this type of framing reveal about the media bias regarding this entire situation. jody rude door and who's the chief correspondent for the new york times jerusalem bureau a bureau that is house in the home of the karmi family of. any and family who have been ethnically cleansed and who have to ask the new york times reporters for permission to see their house in west jerusalem jodee rich doron has produced along with her deputy editor isabel kershner articles profiling the three killed israeli teens humanizing them deeply empathetic articles about their mothers there has been very little on the palestinians who've been killed in israel's rampage through the west bank and gaza strip or the palestinians who've been killed in racist apparent racist hate crimes and revenge attacks incited by netanyahu worse is the article today by rw doron incursion or which weights to the eighteenth paragraph to discuss the campaign of incitement and the race riots in jerusalem by jewish extremists who

have been stoked by high level figures in the israeli governing coalition it's clear that the new york times is involved is engaged in a whitewash of the real sources of this crisis and doing deep disservice to its readers beyond that. i see very little discussion of this crisis and the real roots of it in progressive media and your show is one of the few shows that i see discussing it even in the alternative online media and let's get into that because according the ministry of information ramallah so many palestinians have been killed by israeli forces since the second intifada that equates to one being killed every three days for the last thirteen years in fact two palestinian teens were just gunned down broad daylight on camera last month i didn't hear the white house issuing condolences for and then why do you think this latest tragedy is being framed as different even by alternative media sources suggesting that because israeli teens are dead it somehow makes the playing field equal. what we're hearing

a lot of rhetoric about a cycle of violence as if one side isn't the oppressor in the other side is an oppressed and we're seeing undue focus on the. israeli the three israeli victims israel while it rampages through the west bank through jerusalem and gaza portrays itself as the victim and that was netanyahu is intention from the beginning that's partly why i think the details of this crime were concealed from the israeli public it was to allow netanyahu to milk this crime for all it was worth to portray israel as a victim and as we've seen time and time and time and time again in us media israeli jews are the worthy victims while palestinians are unworthy victims unworthy of being humanized and jodi rell doron of the new york times who recently wrote about one of the boys killed in broad daylight that you mentioned on closed caption t.v. execution style by an israeli soldier referred to him as one among the thousands

who died in the struggle against israel that is the kind of language that's consistent with the dehumanisation of palestinian in supposedly objective media and matters i'm curious of what your response is to people who say well what do you expect israel to do when rockets are being shot in the country and what retaliation should be issued for the kidnapping and murder of its citizens. i expect israel to colonize and allow the eighty percent of the people from the gaza strip who are refugees to be allowed to return to their land and property that was taken from them if you want to understand the roots of palestinian violent resistance you can't go back one week or two weeks or a few years ago or a few intifadas ago this is not a cycle of violence it's rooted in a and a settler colonial apartheid state which is which is engaged in an ongoing campaign to dispel dispossessed palestinians of all they have in order to consolidate its

ethnic purity that's the root of this crisis and that's what we should be talking about as well as the current round of violence and this will continue as long as the status quo continues all of the trends that we're seeing today including the fascist trend. in israeli society we'll dip in and intensify. about a minute left but i wanted to talk about boycott divestment sanctions noam chomsky just wrote this article in the nation saying palestinian activists need to rethink their strategy but in it and i can read the whole quote is enough time that he basically says that if the road goes ahead and the same road that it is now is going to be worse than south africa why do you think that he doesn't support b.d.s. but still seems to understand the severity of the situation on the ground it could be worse in south africa. i have a lot of respect for noam chomsky i don't really want to trash him personally but i have noticed from a lot of critics of b.d.s. who claim to criticize it as allies of palestinians that there laundering their own

opinions behind a very conservative and even cynical view of reality. to limit the horizons that b.d.s. has expanded the political horizons and that's what chomsky appears to be doing he's almost asking us to accept the status quo that israel's imposed and to limit palestinian demands and b.d.s. which is i think of already demonstrating a lot of great successes so i think it's really up to those of us who consider us allies of palestinians who are in solidarity with the palestinian struggle for justice to allow palestinian civil society to continue to take the lead and to not try to impose our own conditions and our own limitations on their struggle it's unfortunate that the nation has chosen to publish this thank you so much max blumenthal always an incredible insight on this crisis really appreciate it thanks for having me.

whether it be hip hop rock or r. and b. many popular american musical genres exist today only because of the birth of jazz and blues that's why i'm especially excite. and to be featuring my next guests there are three piece band from l.a. called the young old men comprised of members me mr digby runs and we'll listen in qur'an gandi their musical influences spanned far beyond the u.s. and india west africa and iran and their personal narratives translate into incredibly soulful music style of playing that falls in their hybrid genre called travel blues here they are performing the song plastic lives.
